25Q9004 Atch 5 Brand Name JA Redacted 26Aug25.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the United States Air Force (USAF), specifically for procuring Trimble land survey equipment from fiscal year 2025-2031. The acquisition is a brand name-only requirement for engineering land survey equipment standardization, with a focus on Trimble brand equipment to maintain compatibility with existing USAF systems and avoid substantial cost duplication.

The procurement includes multiple Trimble survey equipment kits such as R12i GNSS Rover Survey System Kits, S7 and SX12 Robotic Total Station Kits, TDL 450H Radio System Kits, Survey Controllers, Auto Level kits, Grader and Dozer Robotic Total Station Survey Kits, X9 Scanner Survey Kits, and associated software suites. The equipment purchase is justified by the proprietary nature of Trimble's systems, their integration capabilities, and the complexity of replacing the entire existing inventory with alternative brands. The Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC) will manage the procurement, with market research conducted through sources sought notices and federal procurement data system reviews.
